Come Together

Based on a True Story, Come Together is about seven, ethnically diverse, college students who spend the night in a Hollywood Hills mansion, during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. They escape from the fires, looting and violence in South Central, only to realize that the real drama is right under their own roof. Personalities clash and bodies merge as this all-night party reaches its climax. Strangers become friends, and enemies become lovers, when each one confronts their fears, desires, addictions and dreams.

Directed by Charles B. Unger, Come Together leans on a strong ensemble — Vanessa Gomez, Marisa Sullivan, Spencer Ryan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2008.
